Honestly, I've played countless scenarios over in my mind and its driving me a little nuts. Cashman and Co. have their work cut out for them. But I am totally against giving Cano a mega deal. It will cripple the franchise and we'll be in this position again.

It won't cripple the franchise by the time Cano is Jeter and A-rod's age he should be the only old player on the team if the are serious about using the farm as a pipeline.

Friend: I think the NBA paid off the Heat in the first yr because of the politics. They threw game four and they paid Lebron because they were angry with what he did. So he had pay one way or another.

F: Vogel doesn't run that team. Shaw does. If he leaves they are going to suck and Vogel will get fired.

We can only dream of what could be, love the post of deals like-- Grandy to Texas for Olt(3B), Martin(CF) and Perez(LHP) and Cano to the Dodgers for Billingsley(RHP), Gordon(SS) and Puig(OF).
Just saw Texas Dealt Young and his 16 mil. Contract to the Phills for nothing special--- but it cleared 16 mil. Hmmm!

Rangers are paying more than half of what's left on his contract.

I don't think they are serious about it though. When Verlander and Andrus become free agents, 2015 I think, I find it hard to believe the Yankees wont be throwing major amounts of cash their way. I hope they are serious about using the farm. I love seeing young studs come up. Not sure if they will stick to it though. The team could be sold by then as well. Things seem in a state of flux right now.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the kids either but I think they are dead serious about it. Think about it this way if you were able to get certain breaks for one yr wouldn't you want to get those breaks again. Besides whenever Hal talks he always mentions how they look forward to fielding a team with the core from the farm.

But 6 mil. Is 6 mil none the less.

True better than paying the full 16.

Yankees: Hey Robbie Yes we paid Jeter, Damon, A-rod, Tex, Aj, CC, and a number of other players but we have no money to pay you. Yes yes we did bid against ourselves with Alex but we have no money sorry pal.

so because they made msitakes with those guys, they should willing make the mistaker again because cano said so?

the problem is not that they don;'t wnat to give cano that contract now, its that they did give them to tex, arod, aj etc.

Cano is so lazy that he's the best player on the team. How is that possible lol.

No one said he can't survive on 120. Besides what a player wants isn't always what they end up with. When Tex hit the market he was looking for a deal over 200 million but he didn't get it. Hell Reyes wanted Crawford money but didn't get it either.
